If you caught our Rise of the Ronin preview content and are keen, there's a sub-level discount you'll appreciate. I've spent a good six hours with this samurai epic and can confirm that it's well worth unsheathing your wallet for—click here for a longer version of why that is.

In retro news, I'm celebrating the 31st birthday of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, the best of the Mario/Wario platformers on Game Boy. SML2 is remembered for ditching the original’s Superball Flower in favour of the more familiar and satisfying Fire Flower, plus it introduced Bunny Mario. He could jump higher, glide through the air, and procreate faster (fan theory unconfimred).
